July 11, 201015 yr What do folks think of the Emerson Traditional anvils made of 4140 steel? They are made down in Louisiana. Thanks. Mark
July 11, 201015 yr I have no experience with them but note that they are somewhat thin at the heel (something that farriers want). They do NOT seem cheap to me... Centaur has a 150# at $960.00 (which is $6.40/pound). I just bought an old Peter Wright 151# for $300.00 ($2.00/pound). I would say that they seem typical of new farrier anvils to me.
July 11, 201015 yr unless it is zone hardened (ie a hard face and soft horn) I don't think I like the idea of an anvil that could be 38Rc (one site claims 38-50 RC)
